Copying photos from iPhoto onto external hard drive

I'm wanting to copy my photos from my iphoto onto an external hard drive. I haven't purchased one yet so not sure what the best one is. Also I'm worried that the photos will be deleted if I do something wrong. I have tried backing up on the time machine but I'm not sure why but this doesn't work for me either.

To copy photos to an external drive select them in iPhoto and export - Exporting From iPhoto


for a hard drive I personally like OtherWorldComputing for the Mac - in an y case be sure to


get one formatted Mac OS extended (njournaled)



For TimeMachine ask question in the forum for your os - these articles may help - Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support - and - http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
